These dermatologists who specialize in treating Black skin, break down everything Black women should know about laser treatments:
In the case of permanent hair removal, one of the most common laser procedures, Dr. Lester says, “The laser energy is absorbed by the target, which in this case is the hair follicle. It heats up the target enough to destroy it.” Once the follicle is damaged, it delays or totally prevents further hair growth."Any laser can be used on any part of the body since it's all skin," says Dr. Lester."What's important is the type of laser and the person using it.
According to Dr. Dele-Michael, Fitz 5 and 6 are usually darker complexions that can develop skin injury if certain lasers wavelengths are used to treat the skin. However, misuse of lasers onskin tone may result in unwanted injury. With that in mind, Dr. Dele-Michael recommends speaking to your board-certified dermatologist beforehand — no matter your complexion.
The bottom line, Dr. Lester says, is making sure your skin is in good hands, and that you pay attention to how your face feels during laser services."Your skin shouldn't be wildly painful, raw, or open during laser," she says."If that is the case, then something went really wrong." Dr. Lester also recommends that her patients avoid heavy complexion makeup a week leading up to treatment, and to avoid waxing.
Above all, don’t let beauty myths and misinformation limit you when it comes to treating your skin. “Laser is something I recommend to all of my patients if they’re interested and if it’s a fit,” says Dr. Lester. “It’s safe and effective when done at the hands of an experienced professional." So, now that you're armed with the facts, feel free to go forth and find a place and person you trust to embark on your laser journey.
